I want what your smokin’. BOTH teams were chippin’ at each other ALL NIGHT. I am a UGA fan, and am not embarrassed in any way, and shouldn’t be. Your so-called “punk behavior” #36, Shaun Williams, defended a teammate who just took a cheap shot from a Vandy player. I would hope any teammate would defend me like that. The same is said for Grantham. As for walking away from the opposing coach, why wouldn’t the smart thing be to turn and walk away from coach who is losing his cool?

Thank you.

It’s not like, you know, Georgia’s done anything POSITIVE with him there.

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 22:25:29 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=86133#comment-58425ugabugkiller is dead on with what happened. They were cut blocking “outside” the tackle box. The incident was provoked by FRANKLIN, unfortuntely you couldn’t read his lips because the camera was at his back. However, you can clearly see Grantham was just walking across the field & Franklin was pointng & yelling at #36. One last thought, if the league is looking into this surely they would look into the Muschamp explosion that occured during Auburn game. You can hear Muschamp cussing at SEC officials, also in their face.

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:01:45 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=86133#comment-58405#36 acted like a punk all night long. At the end of the game, he turned tail and ran away from Franklin because he’s a punk and didn’t want to answer for his earlier actions. This “a coach shouldn’t talk to one of the other team’s players” is BS. You come taunt and show your *** like he did all night long, you better man up and answer to it. He obviously hasn’t been housebroken yet.

I find it interesting that the Georgia fans only want to talk about Grantham and Franklin. The actions and behavior of the player should be a total embarrassment to you, your team and your coaches. Unfortunately, he plays for a DC that seems to condone punk behavior and a head coach that is under too much pressure to actually care.

Instead, the uga fans just like Grantham’s “fire”.

Please.

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 18:18:04 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=86133#comment-58400ugabugkiller, I don’t know if you are confused or just using the term cut and chop as one in the same. Cut blocks are perfectly legal as long as they don’t occur outside the box by a player coming outside in. All other cut blocks are legal, You may want to watch Georgia Tech play some time, they average about 72 of them a game. Chop blocks as defined by the NCAA occur when a player is engaged high and a second player comes and blocks him anywhere below the waist. These are clearly illegal and called as personal fouls when seen. Your assertion that some teams do them more than others is either childish or your part or shows your lack of knowledge about football. I assure you no coach is teaching his players to chop block as the overwhelming amount of time the umpire sees it and calls it. Do they miss some, sure they do, but that is the exception not the rule. I don’t know who started the ruckus at Vandy, it really doesn’t matter. Both men acted inappropriately for leaders charged with setting examples. When you talk about “he started it”, I hope you will admit that is rather juvenile sounding. I have no idea if the SEC will do anything but I feel reasonbly assured knowing Mark Richt for as long as I have that he will not be pleased with Grantham’s actions especially considering his prior record.

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 18:14:02 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=86133#comment-58399All,

Auburn was notorious for chop blocking when Tuberville was there; I don’t believe Chizik does that sort of thing.

Vanderbilt was doing it and if anyone can look back at the Vandy – Ole Miss game I think you will see Vandy doing it there and they didn’t even need to because Rebels are so bad.

I don’t have a “dog” (bulldog or otherwise) in this hunt but this kind of blocking needs to stop and the SEC has been unwilling to deal with it to date.

Romeo Crennel did not need anyone to undermine him at Cleveland; he was perfectly capable of doing it to himself. Now he is just another bad coach for bad Chiefs team.

Vanderbilt is too classy a school to keep Franklin around. Richt is a high class guy as far as I can tell but someone needs to stand up to the Franklins and Tubervilles of the profession. Franklin did instigate this at the end of the game.

We really want this chop blocking to be identified and dealt with by the SEC or someone. That has really injured players, even great athletes, in the past and can again if they don’t deal with it. Players know when this is happening to them, though it is too late to have prevented it.

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 17:17:45 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=86133#comment-58388I watched the game, as did everyone else.

There was one cut block that was clearly a chop that wasn’t called.

There was several others that were borderline, like the one that took Geathers down.

The fact is, FRANKLIN is the man who instigated the melee or issue, or whatever. He went after one of our players, and TG then DEFENDED that player, only to have Franklin curse at HIM.

This will all come out.

Will they find that chop blocks that were not called as one provoking factor? If you have any evidence, please communicate with the SEC offices in Birmingham. If they are really looking for a provoking or instigating factor this could be one.

Last time I checked, Georgia doesn’t cut (chop) block other players.

Vandy and Auburn, do.

You get on a football field and have someone take you out at the knees, putting your career and life in jeopardy, and see how YOU respond, Romulus.

Moron.

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 16:52:49 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=86133#comment-58383I know, because of what happened last year, it’s hard to give TG the benefit of the doubt, but what ACTUALLY happened was, Franklin went after one of OUR players, #36, Williams, and was screaming at him… so TG told Franklin to back the eff off, and Franklin continued his screaming at TG.

FRANKLIN was the instigator of the incident.

NOT Grantham.

Franklin’s team used cut blocks the whole game, some of which were actually chop blocks not called by the refs (this is why UGA players starting getting PF flags late in the game).

Williams, went after a Vandy receiver b/c of the cheap play of Vandy’s O-line, and Franklin went after Williams AFTER the game.

Grantham saw Franklin tear into his kid, and went off on Franklin. And instead of backing off, Franklin ESCALATED the issue.

THAT is what happened.
